Here is how it works. You check the WIKI starting on Monday afternoon for the
"Problem of the Week". It may have to do with science, social studies, math, spelling, reading or writing. If you hand in your answer to me by Friday of the same week, you will receive a raffle ticket. Twice a month, a raffle ticket will be pulled for a special prize. This is an optional assignment.

You can write the answer on any paper you have at home.

Problem:

Capital City is preparing for their annual winter festival. They plan to decorate their park with 129 strings of lights and each string of lights has 33 bulbs. It is expected to take 37 hours to decorate over the course of the week.
How many lights bulbs are there in all?
How many lights are going to be hung each hour?
